“Alexa was such a superstar with our dog Ranger. I would recommend her to anyone! Our pup has separation anxiety and Alexa knew straight away what would make him feel comfortable with me leaving. So happy we found her! Thanks again, Alexa :)”

“Yolanda was an amazing sitter for my Chi, Rollie, while I was away for 4 days for the first time in a long time — he has separation anxiety, so that was a big deal. She earned his trust and took him on lots of outings, including to restaurants. I came home to an excited but relaxed, happy, and healthy Chihuahua. Highly recommend her for any pup who needs fun, patient, and loving care! Thanks Yolanda, I hope I can book you again for my next travels!”

About: I’m an experienced and dedicated animal lover who has cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I treat every pet as if they were my own - providing them with love, attention, and the same level of care I’d give a cherished family member. I am available any day - please contact for availability or submit a request - I try to be flexible to fit your scheduling needs! On our walks I will take your dog on a hike, a less intense nature walk, or even stay more in urban areas depending on yours and your pets preference if known. At your home I can take your pet for bathroom breaks, clean up messes, provide feedings and water, scoop cat litter and poop outside and play with them to keep the active and stimulated!

“Jocelynn did a great job! It was the first time I couldn’t take my senior dog with me and I was a bit anxious. But Jocelynn kept me updated letting me know that Hudsin was just fine and being her goody self. The house was exactly how I left it when I got home and I could tell Hudsin was well taken care of!”

“Georgia is a gem in pet and house sitting and a pleasure to work with all around. Our high needs cats made it impossible for us to travel without worry for years. Now we can go away, knowing that our pets are in good hands within their own environment. Our place was amazingly clean when we arrived home and most importantly, our pets were content. Communication was A+ and the pictures we got daily set our minds at ease. We would not hesitate to rebook Georgia for our next vacation, our expectations were exceeded!”

About: Cats have been a part of my life since I was seven years old, when my mom surprised me with my first kitten, and my love for them has only grown since then. I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats, including fostering with the Okanagan Humane Society, in-home pet sitting, and fostering cats who ultimately became part of my family. I currently share my home with three former foster cats. I have a naturally calm and patient demeanour, and I often find that shy, nervous, or less-social cats will gravitate toward me. I take the time to get to know each cat’s personality, routine, and individual needs rather than expecting them to all behave the same way. I’m also comfortable providing hands-on care, including nail trims, bathing, and administering medication when needed. When a cat stays with me, my goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving environment where they can feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their family is away. I am currently in the process of changing careers and am not working full-time, which allows me to make pet care a meaningful part of my daily routine. I have the time and flexibility to provide cats with consistent attention, companionship, and individualized care throughout the day, as well as space for overnight boarding. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and with more than 20 years of experience fostering and looking after cats, including my three former foster cats, I would be happy to use this time to help other families feel confident that their cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine, and my calm, patient nature helps me provide a peaceful environment, especially for shy, nervous, or less-social cats. I live alone and have a separate spare room where your cat can have a quiet, private space to settle in and feel safe\. I’m able to provide lots of one\-on\-one attention, companionship, and play throughout their stay\. If introductions to my resident cats are appropriate, they’re done slowly, patiently, and always supervised, following each cat’s comfort level and body language\. There’s never any pressure to interact—your cat’s comfort and happiness come first\! I also have the flexibility to provide overnight care in your home when needed, so your cat can stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment\.

About: I have a lifetime of experience working with all sorts of dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and dogs requiring special care and/or medications. I am also experienced in dog training and grooming. I’m currently a student meaning I spend most of my time at home. Doing online classes can make it difficult to have typical a 9-5 job, being one of the reasons I started dog walking and sitting. As well as it being a passion I’ve had since a very early age. I have a home with a fenced in open space for your fur-babies. As well as many hiking trails located nearby for your pups to explore! Potty breaks every two hours as well as 2-4 walks a day.

About: I have grown up my whole life with animals. I currently have four dogs and four cats at home. I truly believe pets add so much love to the household. my hours are very flexible and change everyday. I work shifts at a local restaurant in oyama and also at mission hill winery. I’m usually free in the mornings and afternoons/nights vary. I cannot bring pets into my apartment, but will do whatever is needed at a clients home:) obviously each home is different and i will cater to needs, for example taking the dogs for a walk if there is no yard or constantly keeping an eye on the pet if they like to get into things.

About: Skills: Excellent cuddler Proficient in head scratches and belly rubs W-A-L-K... yes, yes yes! Master in litterbox/poop cleaning Not afraid to use the word “no” I would love to help keep your good boys and girls happy and healthy! ...i’m much more interested in dog walking as I work a full time job, but i’m open to pet sitting as well. Experiences: Besides having a mischievous house goblin of my own, I used to pet sit for my neighbours dogs and cats quite frequently. Which involved feeding, cleaning, brushing, walking or letting them in/out of the house. So I understand the love and care that needs to go into looking after your precious fur babies. I would love to chat with you or get walking soon! I'm currently not committed to a full-time job, so i do have flexibility when it comes to accommodating various pet sitting jobs. While I love caring for animals, I also appreciate having time for personal pursuits and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Therefore, I aim to find a schedule for pet sitting that allows me to provide excellent care to animals while still having time for myself and other commitments. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize respect for their space and safety. I pet-proof my environment by securely storing food and keeping plants out of reach. Consistency is key in behavior management, with positive reinforcement for good behavior and redirection for unwanted actions. I remain vigilant for signs of illness, ready to take prompt action in emergencies.

About: I am an active & very mobile lady who can offer various types of walks from leisurely to high energy, rain or shine. On leash is preferred but for well trained dogs I will consider off leash. Pick up and drop offs are available for one hour walks. Your dog/s should be dog friendly but if not then I will work with you so your fur baby can have the best experience possible. I can administer medication. As a responsible, skilled, current small dog owner, and former two large dogs & cat mom, your animals will be treated with lots of compassion and love. I will text or email pictures, videos and memos to keep you updated every step of the way. House sitting available.

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and am fortunate to now have a small Pomeranian girl who is VERY sociable. She gets along with any dog and would be present if your dog is staying at my house. I love dogs and would provide the best care for them wether just a walk or pet sitting. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime and pet sitting throughout the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I will always follow your usual routine, feeding instructions and any specific care needs you provide. I’m attentive, responsible and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Desiree was amazing with my pets. She sent me regular pictures and I could clearly tell they were having a great time with her. It makes all the difference when being away to know they are in good hands. She left my place immaculately clean. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

I can't say enough good things about Corrin; from start to finish she was an absolute pleasure to deal with. During our initial meet & greet with my precious girl; she was very professional, nice and immediately developed a connection with my girl. I spent an extended time away from home for business and Corrin had no problem spending the long stay with my Bella and it sounds like they had a great time together. She kept be updated with lot's of messages and pictures throughout her stay and my girl always looked so happy in every picture. I will not hesitate for a second to have her stay with Bella again and I'm sure Bella is looking forward to seeing her again. If you're looking for a very caring, reliable and genuinely sweet person...I highly reccommend Corrin!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ellison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Ellison is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Ellison. About 92% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ellison maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ellison walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellison choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
